Deja vu

Elicia:

It was like they were one person, shouting and cursing all at once as Amelia motioned for me to take a seat in the black chair with dark hickory armrests as she walked over to the liquor cabinet, pouring a hefty glass of whiskey as Randi and Rex leaned inside the doorframe.

“Elicia, sweety, t-tell them what y-you just told me.” She pointed out with her other hand as she chugged her glass between words, bypassing the glass and going straight for the bottle itself. Suddenly, feeling claustrophobic as glowing orbs of grays, greens, and hazels stared at me with questioning expressions, sinking back into the plush material as she nodded to me.

“Umm.. Amelia was talking about your Aunt Mei, and her violent past after she made a reference of this being some kind of déjà vu.” Pointing to my body as they nodded to go on with my explanation, but the sudden wave of fearful anger halted my explanation.

“Boys, Titan isn’t dead. She saw him…it’s that fucking pricks uncle.” Jumping from my chair as their shocked expressions, twisted and morphed into demonic snarling beasts, feeling the sudden urge to touch them as my body launched into their arms. Snuggling down into their warmth as their snarling, panting chests, vibrated under the intense emotional surge ripping through their bodies.

“Please tell me it isn’t true?” Elias cupped my shoulders, looking at me for anything but the fact, that this man existed and was causing them deep anguish as their ambered hazels searched my watering eyes.

“I-I don’t think it could be anyone else. She spoke of him as I remember him, sitting in that wheelchair with a catheter bag, instructing Bain how to break me with his twin brother, Myles, Bain’s father, enjoying every second of my tormenting cries.” Breaking down into tears as the images of my torture sessions rolled through my body, dry-heaving against the painful sensations that racked my body into a trembling mess.

“Wheelchair?” Roger asked puzzled, nodding to his question as his arms wrapped around me, burying my face into his chest as they rubbed soothing circles along my arms and back.

“Wait, I thought they got rid of his body after she ripped his junk off?” Chris spoke coldly, tilting my chin up as his warm lips brushed across mine in a gentle embrace, rubbing his thumb along my jaw.

“That’s what I thought. It was Jaxon, Braxton, and Dean who took care of his body removal from the arena. Unless…” Amelia exhaled in annoyance, snapping her fingers in a sharp crack as she slammed the whiskey bottle down, grabbing her phone with a twisted snarl. Rex handed me a glass of OJ as Randi stood in the bathroom, pinching the bridge of his nose as the guys huddled around me with gentle kisses and soothing touches along my arms.

“It will be okay.” Ben whispered into my ear as his nose brushed along my jaw, shivering against Roger’s chest as Chris and Elias kissed my knuckles with soft smiles.

“YOU SAID YOU HAD AN IUD, RIGHT?” Randi shouted from the bathroom with a sarcastic hitch as we snapped our attention to him, dangling the piss stick between his fingers with a killer megawatt grin.

“No.” Whispering out in shock.

“Yes.” Randi hissed playfully, walking out as he tossed the piss stick into my hands, juggling it quickly before reading the little display screen.

“Pregnant. I’m pregnant.” Yep, my dancing career just went up in flames, sinking to the bottom of the abyss as the ugly tears commenced departure from my stinging eyes. Crumbling to the floor as the guys cooed and consoled me silently, cupping my soggy face in my hands.

“E, girly, it will be okay. A little scary, but you have all of us to support you.” Randi kneeled, pulling my hands away so he could see my red, puffy eyes as his megawatt smile caused more tears to spill out in an incoherent blubbering.

“I-I don’t e-even know w-what I am? How c-can I-I bring life into the world, if I don’t even know what I am, besides bear.” Wiping away the tears that dripped from my chin as the guys stiffened against my body.

“Bear? How do you know you’re bear?” Elias asked softly, tilting my blurry eyes towards their smiling faces as their amber hazels gleamed brightly with so many emotions.

“Thyra said it was the only way she was able to link me. OH GOD!! THYRA!” Stumbling to my feet, pacing frantically as the guys stared at me like I had grown three heads and tail, while Amelia typed away at her phone, pinching her nose under the soft illumination of the screen.

“Slow down, Hummingbird. Who’s Thyra?” Chris sat along the edge of the bed with his brothers, smiling and nodding in a silent agreement as my heart fluttered and jolted against my ribcage.

“Bain’s mother, but don’t jump to conclusions just yet. She was turned into a rat after she gave birth to Bain. Myles, her mate, hired a Witch to poison her but she said something about her lineage and the poison turned her instead. She was actually the only thing keeping me sane, because they threw some serious psychological bullshit at me mixed with the physical torture.” Now, the adrenaline pumped wildly through my veins as every word, sound, scent and sensation flooded me with a murderous rage.

“Calm down, Kitten.” Elias cracked his neck with a dark shiver as his pearly fangs poked out from his top lip, rushing over to him lifting his lip to examine the extrusions from his pink gums.

“K-Kitten.” He chuckled under my firm grip, turning towards the others as they lifted their lips showing the same fangs poking out.

“Is it true? Are you trained fighters from that place? And ruthless sex trainers overseas?” Snapping my eyes between them as they jolted back in shock, confirming the taunts that Dani and Bain screamed at me constantly, while torturing me into tears because I didn’t believe it…and it was all TRUE…

“She’s all over the place.” Roger spoke calmly but his lips remained motionless as they held my gaze with pledging expressions, stepping back as the blistering heat rolled through my body.

“What the hell did they tell her?” Chris spoke rapidly still staring at me in silence.

“I don’t know, but from the looks of it. All of it.” Ben snapped out firmly, closing my thumping eyelids as the blistering heat seeped from my pores.

“Right! I’m sure they also told her that our father is none other than that dickless prick, Titan, and our mother died giving birth to us inside that Hell Hole.” Elias growled out, snapping my eyes open as they slid back into the bed with fearful expressions.

“He’s. your. what?” Growling out between my teeth as Randi, Rex, and Amelia stepped back, placing a few pieces of furniture between them and me, while that staticky energy returned, swirling around my body like a dust-devil skimming across a ball field.

“Butterfly, listen to us. We don’t know what all was said to you, but apparently it was enough to upset you. It is true, we’re trained fighters with a darker history of child sex trainers. We were raised and sold off within the Underground, to some twisted and demented people that used us for their financial gains.” Ben slid forward, holding his hand out to me as the swirling energy snapped his hand back with a low hiss, shaking off the stinging burn.

Oh, how I taste the sweet embrace of …blood.
